Have heard a lot about bone broth but what is the reason or health benefits behind it.
Do you make it and how does one make it.[/QUOTE]
I make bone broth by taking the bones of the meats that I cook, and boiling them in water until the bones turn white. When they are white the gelatin has been released. I do not remove the fat that cooks out and rises to the top, unless it is a very thick layer and then I only remove about half of the fat in that case. I freeze it in ice cube trays, then transfer into gallon zipper bags labeled by what meat. I can pull out a few cubes for flavoring rice, potatoes, pasta or soups. Six cubes is approximately one cup of flavor. It has always amazed me that people throw away meat drippings or fat and bones. That is all your flavor down the drain. I cannot use any kind of wines to cook or drink, so getting all the flavor into the food is doubly important to me.
